Men want to feel just as desired as women, but women don’t compliment men much. Why is that?

November is Transgender Awareness Month, a time to honor and uplift transgender and gender-diverse individuals.

This month, I encourage everyone to listen, learn, and affirm. Visibility and understanding are essential steps toward equality and emotional safety for all.

Today is National Sex Toy Day.

If you’re new to sex toys, it can take some time to figure out what feels right for you, and that’s completely okay. Start small and simple. There are so many options out there that it can feel overwhelming at first, so take your time and explore at your own pace.

My husband has prostate cancer. We are a neurodiverse couple – he is more logical, and I am more emotional. We are getting multiple opinions from doctors about treatment plans and options.

My mom has been dealing with cancer for quite some time, and her spirits remain high and positive. I talked with her on TikTok, asking her to share some reflections. I was surprised at her response.

“You are responsible for your own pleasure.” 💡
In this clip, Dr. Adrienne Rowland reminds us that pleasure isn’t our partner’s job — it’s our own. By communicating what feels good, exploring boundaries, and discussing needs openly, couples can build deeper trust.

Why do most people assume everyone is straight and Christian? Charlie Kirk, a prominent conservative activist and co-founder of Turning Point USA, was shot and killed during a event at Utah Valley University.

I’ve seen it many times: older men in locker rooms who walk around naked and completely comfortable. I’ve seen men with bodies to brag about covering up. I always wonder why some men are body proud while others aren't.

Addiction can grab you so hard and desperately that you are willing to do anything to get your high – even straight men will hook up with gay men to get a fix.

I often recommend that single gay men date heterosexual men who have been married. I find they make the best relationship partners. I’ve been receiving a lot of objections to my suggestion.
